Purchasing (Procure to Pay)
An efficient and effective supply chain is integral to the success of our global day to day operations.
Our primary method for procuring goods and/or services is by placing a Purchase Order with our Suppliers.
It is important that before our suppliers commence any work or deliver any goods to us that they have received a valid Purchase Order with a corresponding Purchase Order number. Should you receive a request to supply any goods and/or services and you have not received a valid Purchase Order, please contact your local buyer or commercial contact immediately
We are committed to ensuring payments to our suppliers are made within agreed payment terms and by ensuring you have a valid Purchase Order, you can help avoid delays in the process. Invoices received without a Purchase Order cannot be processed and will not enter our processing queues.
Our eProcurement Journey with the Ariba Network
As part of our ongoing drive to digitalise our Supply Chain, Anglo American and De Beers Group are committed to implementing electronic procurement technology, namely the Ariba Network and requisite modules, as the standard for conducting business with our suppliers.
Implementing these types of digital platforms allows our suppliers to transact with us electronically and provide greater transparency and efficiency during the procure-to-pay lifecycle.
